Leonardo Jardim names Flamengo v Cruzeiro XI in Wednesday training | OneFootball

Flamengo and Cruzeiro face off in the fifth round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo returns to the fight for the Campeonato Brasileiro title on Wednesday (11th). With focus on the fifth round match of the Brasileirão, Leonardo Jardim sets the starting lineup in a training session held this morning.

Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Carrascal, Samuel Lino and Pedro. However, the team will still be finalized in Wednesday’s (11th) training session.

Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, Leonardo Jardim will define the starting lineup for Flamengo that will face Cruzeiro in a training session scheduled for 11 a.m. (local time). It’s worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team.

Another point worth highlighting is that Leonardo Jardim ‘innovated’ by scheduling a training session on the day of the Flamengo match. Until now, the preparation of the “Mais Querido” was always concluded on the eve of each fixture of the season.

What is Flamengo’s current situation?

It’s worth remembering that Flamengo is the current Brazilian champion. However, in the 2026 season, the “Mais Querido” sits in 11th place in the national tournament, with four points earned. The leader of the competition is Palmeiras, with ten points.

What are the details of the match and broadcast?

This Wednesday (11th), Flamengo and Cruzeiro will play the fifth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. In summary, the match will take place at Maracanã, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Finally, the broadcast will be handled by Rede Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view).
